Metro Photo Challenge 2014

It is open to everyone everywhere. The theme chosen with the United Nations Climate Change team is:

“My Green City.”

Metro is the largest international newspaper in the world. Metro is published in over 150 major cities in 24 countries across Europe, North & South America and Asia. Metro has a unique global reach, attracting a young, active, well-educated Metropolitan audience of over 18 million daily readers.

“To quote UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, ‘Climate change is not a far-off problem, it is happening now, with real consequences,’” said Afsane Bassir-Pour, Director of the UN Regional Information Centre in Brussels, “but, adds the Secretary-General, ‘change is in the air.’ And METRO International’s decision to dedicate the 10th Metro Photo Challenge to the climate is another sign of this change,” said Ms. Bassir-Pour.

“The key goal is always to activate and motivate our readers with topics that will challenge,” said Francisco Contreras, Metro’s Global Marketing Director. “We at Metro are happy and very excited to have the United Nations as our partner for this year’s Metro Photo Challenge. We believe that the collaboration will inspire our readers and photographers from around the world to participate in this year’s challenge.”
